I think we saw Obama as he is, nothing more or less. He has never been a great debater. He has always stumbled on words, but he rode his "hope and
change" idea over and over, keeping it simple. Obama has never been a "numbers" guy and has charmed America with his "stories" to get his message
across. I don't think life stories will work for him this time and he is out of place doing it any other way.

What is the one thing everyone is saying? What was wrong with Obama, right? Everyone knows this isn't the normal Obama.

Now, do you think Obama has just suddenly become uncharasmatic, unpassionate, and boring? Or do you think it is calculated strategy?

Like I said, people can say Romney "won" tonight. He will probably even get a bump in the polls. But as the fact checkers come out, and as Romney
tries to backtrack some of the things he was forced to say tonight, I think the strategy will become clear.

People like to compare these things to a boxing match. So we have three debates, so three rounds. Now, if you know that a fight is going to last
three rounds, do you waste all your best shots in the very first round?

Romney had to come out like he did, he is way down in the polls and needed to get noticed. And I think Obama was fine with that because I believe he
knows that after tonight, people will start to really dig into Romney's comments and start to realize that Romney has contradicted himself and has
backtracked on a lot of his positions.

He's struggling to remember his facts and points, and seems nervous and reserved. He's tripping over his words and isn't speaking with a whole lot
of conviction.

Romney, while a bit of a bully at times by interrupting, is on his game. He seems to know his talking points inside and out---and is expressing
himself very well. His energy is high.

Just a few thoughts twenty minutes in...

What say you?

edit on 3-10-2012 by MRuss because: (no reason given)

He should of come out swinging and he didn't, he should of jumped on the 47%, even democratic TV news stations are saying it. I seriously doubt he
will be pushed against the ropes the next debate. If he is I would really be surprised and sad. Because I do feel is that Obama represents the middle
and poor more than Romney could ever hope to get near.

honestly... i blame the Powers That Be - because that is who is pulling all of our strings, and letting meglomaniacs such as these twats into our mass
consciousness, all while we ravage this earth and execute & defile the true peacemakers & freedom fighters.

forgive the mini-rant, as i've tried to keep some poise on this thread, but - well, it is ATS, and that's my conspiracy!

Tonight everyone got to see first hand...the Emperor has no clothes.

He didn't have the Obama loving MSM talking for him. Nor his ever so important teleprompter to keep him on track.

He belongs in Hollywood with all the other actors.....that's all he is, a two bit actor.

I wish that would be a valid argument on why people are ignorant, but that is nothing more than an excuse. People could just look away from all the
hype. They are sold promises and dreams, which is why most minds are poisoned til this day.
